   • 2012 February 5, Evgeny Morozov, “The Death of the Cyberflâneur”, in The New York Times, section SR, page 6:

     Intrigued, I set out to discover what happened to the cyberflâneur. While I quickly found other contemporaneous commentators who believed that flânerie would flourish online, the sad state of today’s Internet suggests that they couldn’t have been more wrong.
